Mitt Romney Jokes About Biting Evander Holyfield In Charity Fight

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is risking his eyesight to help others see better. The 68-year-old politician will be squaring off against former heavy weight champ Evander Holyfield in a charity boxing match on May 14th. The bout hopes to raise $1 Million for Charity Vision, a Utah-based nonprofit focused on helping people in developing countries with vision problems. Romney’s son Josh is the volunteer part-time president of the organization.

In the promo clip Romney says “it’s true, I don’t have much of a right hook. But when I get somebody’s ear, I can quite formidable.” The quip was in reference to Mike Tyson biting off Holyfield’s ear during their rematch in 1997.
